I booked this hotel as a more reasonably priced choice for MWC week. I was a bit apprehensive given some of the negative reviews, but actually it was fine. Reception were friendly and efficient, the “comfort” room was an adequate size and well serviced. Breakfast was also ok - even with smoked salmon. And the internet speed was very good once you get past the silly login pages - I was getting upwards of 80Mb/s. The lifts did always smell of weed though! I’d happily stay again next year.

I like the hotel. It has a great location on a beautiful street near the subway and a bus stop, you can come directly by airbus from the airport to the hotel without reaching Plaza Catalonia.

Delicious breakfasts (cheese, ham, fruit). Bad Internet. The room is normal.

Stayed here a few nights in February.
Room with internal facing window. Reasonably good standard room, not too small.
Staff were friendly and all speak English. I didn’t try the pool, but it did seem to be open.
Nespresso machine was topped up each day by housekeeping.
Fridge with minibar, but you can put your own stuff in.
Air con in the room, adequate.
Small tv with Spanish tv stations plus uk news.
Good storage space.
Digital safe.
Spacious en-suite with good hot water.
Very comfortable bed, slept much better than usual.
The airport bus leaves you just a couple of minutes walk away, (2nd stop from airport) and to get the return bus, A1 or A2, the stop is a street behind the hotel.
February 2023, price one way is €6.75, and you can pay on the bus with credit card.
A cheaper bus 46, stops about 10 minutes walk away, this is just €2.40 each way, but obviously a bit slower as it stops at every stop en route.
Location is good, about 10/15 mins walk to centre of city including Las Ramblas (bit of a kip, imagine O’connell street Dublin with all the people from temple bar, cheap looking outdoor food and tacky restaurants, shops , and bars.
There are plenty of food stores nearby and Barcelona has a good range of gluten free restaurants, one in particular is Copastetic, around 20 minutes walk from hotel, excellent range there, great food and lovely staff and reasonably priced.
